Enriched Edition. Extraordinary Life Story of the Genius Who Changed the WorldBy Nikola Tesla
Length4h 27m
About this audiobook
My Inventions – Nikola Tesla's Autobiography is a lucid, episodic self-portrait of one of modernity's defining inventors, first published as a series in 1919. Blending memoir, scientific reflection, and philosophical meditation, Tesla recounts his childhood perceptions, mental disciplines, and the visionary processes behind discoveries in alternating current, wireless transmission, and electrical engineering. Its style is precise yet strangely poetic, situated between Victorian scientific autobiography and the early twentieth-century literature of technological progress. Nikola Tesla, born in 1856 in Smiljan in the Austrian Empire, was shaped by a clerical and intellectual household, a formidable memory, and an unusually intense imaginative life. His education in engineering, work in Europe, and later career in the United States placed him at the center of the electrical age. The book reflects both his triumphs and his isolation: a mind driven by invention, idealism, and an almost ascetic devotion to human advancement. This autobiography is recommended to readers interested in science, intellectual history, and the psychology of creativity. It offers not merely a record of inventions, but an intimate map of genius at work.
